Managing the SharePoint Workspace application in the Backstage view

The Microsoft® Office Backstage™ is the place where you do most SharePoint Workspace administrative tasks, such as setting preferences for your account and identity, managing alerts and connection settings, creating new workspaces, saving workspaces and tools as archives or templates, and downloading workspace data from other computers.

To go to the Backstage view, click the File tab in either the Workspace Explorer or the Launchbar.

The tables in this topic summarize the tasks available on the different tabs of the Backstage view. In addition to the tasks described on each tab, you can click Close to close the current SharePoint Workspace window, or Exit to exit SharePoint Workspace.
